BC Highlights

The highlight performance on the day for the Eagles came from sophomore Isabelle Kennedy who won the 5K with her time of 16:20.07, six seconds clear of the second-place finisher. Kennedy's time was good for a new personal best as well.
A slew of performances in the 800m were noteworthy for the Eagles. Running in the second fastest heat, Molly McCabe placed second and was 12^th overall, setting her new personal best with a time of 2:08.03. Junior teammate Claudia DiSomma was close behind with a time of 2:08.80, also second in her heat, for a huge PR and a 20^th overall finish. Freshman Paige Duca's time of 2:14.69 was also a new personal best.
Back in the 3000m steeplechase, sophomore Laura Leff ran an impressive 10:41.51, posting an impressive comeback from third place to win her heat and finish 14^th overall.
In the 1500m, senior Vivian Grimes had a top-four performance in her heat and a 10^th place finish over, as well as a new personal best with her solid 4:42.83.
The Eagles' speedy 400m squad continued to perform this weekend. Senior captain Carly Daniel led the way with a second place finish in her heat with a time of 56.17. Sophomore Johanna Celli was the second best finisher in the event for the Eagles, blowing away her heat to take first with a massive PR in 56.36.
Once again, junior Fallyn Boich continued her mastery in the javelin. Finishing 5^th overall with her toss of 42.43m (139'2"), Boich was inches away from setting her new all-time best.
To close out the meet, the Eagles ran an exciting 4x400m relay. Winning their heat and taking third overall, the squad posted an impressive time of 3:46.79. Sophomore Johanna Celli led off in 57.34, who passed to senior Carly Daniel. Following her speedy split of 55.91, junior Robin Gross kept the Eagles in the top three with her split of 57.50. Sophomore Molly McCabe anchored in 55.03, reclaiming first in the heat for the Eagles, coming back from third place.
